On one of my dad's letters he wrote D Coy, so does that mean he was with D Company?

Hi Dianne;

Yes, at the time (date) he wrote the letter, he would have been with "D" Company.

Regarding his rehab in Scotland, 15-31 May 45, this is the entry on his Record of Service which you supplied earlier:

"1CDN Recep Depot gtd ? 16 days SPL with mailr 15 to 31 May UK 15 May CPL 201| 7 aug 45"

to which I had replied:

"this says: he was granted special leave (from No. 1 Canadian Reception Depot) within the UK from 15 to 31 May 45"

He was on his own during the period 15 to 31 May, 1945, having been granted 'special leave', so he was free to go where he pleased within the UK, which from what you've posted, he ended up in Scotland.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
